Hi all, while compiling kde with cygwin I recgonized a missing 'in_addr_t' type in arpa/inet.h, which seems to belong to this file like http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xns/netinetin.h.html says.
Additional this type should be uses as return type for the following functions in_addr_t inet_addr(const char *cp); in_addr_t inet_lnaof(struct in_addr in); in_addr_t inet_netof(struct in_addr in); in_addr_t inet_network(const char *cp); which are currently unsigned long inet_addr (const char *); unsigned long inet_lnaof (struct in_addr); unsigned int inet_netof (struct in_addr); unsigned int inet_network (const char *); see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xns/arpainet.h.html for further details. The following patch fixes this: Index: include/cygwin/in.h =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/src/winsup/cygwin/include/cygwin/in.h,v retrieving revision 1.4 diff -u -3 -p -B -u -b -B -p -r1.4 in.h --- include/cygwin/in.h 28 Oct 2000 05:41:43 -0000 1.4 +++ include/cygwin/in.h 10 Feb 2003 12:52:59 -0000 @@ -76,10 +76,11 @@ enum IPPORT_USERRESERVED = 5000 }; +typedef unsigned int in_addr_t; /* Internet address. */ struct in_addr { - unsigned int s_addr; + in_addr_t s_addr; }; /* Request struct for multicast socket ops */ Index: include/arpa/inet.h =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/src/winsup/cygwin/include/arpa/inet.h,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -u -3 -p -B -u -b -B -p -r1.2 inet.h --- include/arpa/inet.h 5 Mar 2001 21:29:21 -0000 1.2 +++ include/arpa/inet.h 10 Feb 2003 12:55:32 -0000 @@ -19,12 +19,12 @@ extern "C" #endif #ifndef __INSIDE_CYGWIN_NET__ -unsigned long inet_addr (const char *); +in_addr_t inet_addr (const char *); int inet_aton (const char *, struct in_addr *); -unsigned long inet_lnaof (struct in_addr); +in_addr_t inet_lnaof (struct in_addr); struct in_addr inet_makeaddr (unsigned long , unsigned long); -unsigned int inet_netof (struct in_addr); -unsigned int inet_network (const char *); +in_addr_t inet_netof (struct in_addr); +in_addr_t inet_network (const char *); char *inet_ntoa (struct in_addr); #endif ChangeLog -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003-02-10 Ralf Habacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * include/cygwin/in.h (in_attr_t): new type. * include/arpa/inet.h (inet_addr): changed return type into in_addr_t.

BTW: I have tried to indent this files at first with indent tool and second with astyle --gnu, but this results into a completly different style. It seems that this files are NOT coded with the gnu style.
